ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions 1

Application

A ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator provides a

wireless interface between field controllers equipped

with a ZFR1811 Router and a Network Automation

Engine (NAE) 35/45/55 or Network Control Engine

(NCE) 25 supervisory controller. Each wireless mesh

network requires one ZFR1810 Coordinator, which

initiates the formation of the network.

A ZFR1810 Coordinator can operate from either of two

power sources:

• a 24 VAC, Class 2 power source when used with

an NAE55 supervisory controller

• 15 VDC power provided from the FC Bus

Jack on

st Field Equipment or Supervisory Controllers

that are connected directly to the FC Bus

The ZFR1810 Coordinator features a remote-mount

antenna and cable to allow transmission when the

ZFR1810 Coordinator is mounted inside a metal panel.

Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus

System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) or the

ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick

Reference Guide (LIT-12011630) for information on

commissioning and configuring a ZFR1800 Series

Wireless Field Bus System for operation.

IMPORTANT: Use the ZFR1810 Wireless Field

Bus Coordinator only to provide an input to

equipment under normal operating conditions.

Where failure or malfunction of the ZFR1810

Coordinator could lead to personal injury or property

damage to the controlled equipment or other

property, additional precautions must be designed

into the control system. Incorporate and maintain

other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems

or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or

protect against failure or malfunction of the

ZFR1810 Coordinator.

IMPORTANT: The ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field

Mounting

Location Considerations

Follow these guidelines when locating a ZFR1810

Coordinator within a ZFR1800 Series system.

• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator so that it is easily

accessible.

• For best signal transmission, vertically orient the

ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna with at least

50 mm (2 in.) exposed below (and clear of) any

pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions. Do

not mount the antenna in a horizontal orientation.

• Due to the nature of the radio frequency waves, a

wireless device may have significantly different

signal strengths if its position changes relative to

another wireless device or if its environment

changes. If a ZFR1810 Coordinator shows poor

signal strength, you can improve the signal

strength by moving the device’s antenna a couple

of inches in either horizontal direction.

• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna in

line-of-sight with as many ZFR1811 Routers as

possible.

• Do not mount the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna

in recessed areas, metal enclosures, or shelving

units.

Follow these additional guidelines when installing a

ZFR1810 Coordinator:

• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator near the center

of the associated array of ZFR1811 Routers.

• At a minimum, position a ZFR1810 Coordinator

within 15.2 m (50 ft) of at least two

ZFR1811 Routers.

• At a minimum, position all ZFR1811 Routers within

15.2 m (50 ft) of at least two other ZFR1811

Routers or one ZFR1811 Router and the ZFR1810

Coordinator.

• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator on the same floor

as the associated ZFR1811 Router and

WRZ Series Sensors.

• Test the transmission signal strength between the

ZFR1810 Coordinator and the associated

ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series Sensors to

ensure a reliable mesh network is in place. For

more information, see the ZFR1800 Series

Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin

(LIT-12011295).

• Avoid metal obstructions and concrete or brick

walls between the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the

associated ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series

Sensors.

• Avoid configurations where a microwave oven is

located between two wireless devices. At a

minimum, ensure no microwave ovens are within

6 m (20 ft) of a ZFR1810 Coordinator.

Note: For detailed information on location guidelines

for a ZFR1800 Series system, and for estimating the

number of ZFR1811 Routers needed as repeaters for

extending wireless transmission range, refer to the

ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical

Bulletin (LIT-12011295).

Wireless Signal Transmission Considerations

Line-of-sight transmission ranges between a

ZFR1810 Coordinator, ZFR1811 Router, and/or a

WRZ Series Sensor can be less than the maximum

distances shown in Table 1. The effective transmission

range for indoor applications varies because of

wireless signal absorption and reflection due to metal

obstructions, walls (or floors), and furniture found in

typical building interiors. The effective transmission

range for outdoor applications varies based on

environmental conditions.

Mounting the Base

The ZFR1810 Coordinator can be surface mounted

using the four No. 6 Trade Size self-tapping, pan-head

screws supplied.

To mount the ZFR1810 Coordinator base with screws:

1. Remove the ZFR1810 Coordinator from the

mounting base (Figure 2).

2. Use the mounting base as a template, and place

the mounting base against the mounting surface.

3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations and secure

the mounting base to the surface with the four No.

6 Trade Size screws supplied.

4. Mount the antenna and connect the antenna cable

to the ZFR1810 Coordinator. See Assembling the

Antenna.

5. Reinstall the ZFR1810 Coordinator housing to the

mounted base.

Assembling the Antenna

If mounting the ZFR810 Coordinator in a control panel,

choose a location on the top side of the control panel

for placement of the antenna. Ensure that the selected

location has line-of-sight to two or more ZFR1811

Routers.

Use Figure 3 and the following steps to assemble the

remote-mount antenna:

1. Remove the knock-out tab on the enclosure/panel

box or drill a 7/8 in. diameter hole in the desired

location on the top of the enclosure.

2. Insert the round bushing into the hole in the

enclosure.

3. Insert the hexagonal bushing into the antenna

mounting bracket.

4. Thread the antenna cable through the hexagonal

bushing.

5. Insert the base of the antenna into the hexagonal

bushing and press until it snaps securely in place.

6. Thread the antenna cable through the round

bushing at the top of the panel.

ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions6

Wiring

Wiring Considerations and Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when wiring a

ZFR1810 Coordinator:

• Route the wires at least 50 mm (2 in.) away from

the vent slots on the sides of the

ZFR1810 Coordinator housing.

• Provide slack in the wires. Keep wires routed

neatly around the ZFR1810 Coordinator to

promote good ventilation, Light-Emitting Diode

(LED) visibility, and ease of service.

Power Input and Communication

Wiring for power input and communication uses one of

two methods: terminal blocks or the FC Bus jack.

Terminal Blocks - Power

Use a 24 VAC nominal, 50/60 Hz, Class 2 power

supply to power the ZFR1810 Coordinator. See Table 4

for recommended Johnson Controls® transformers.

Connect the 24 VAC supply power wires from the

transformer to the HOT and COM terminals of the

24 V~ three-position screw terminal pluggable block as

shown in Figure 4 and Figure 1. The middle terminal is

not used.

Note: Transformers not manufactured by

Johnson Controls may have different color wires.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting

and wiring transformers.

Terminal Blocks - Communication

Connect the communication wires from the NAE or

NCE to the four-position screw terminal pluggable

block, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 1.

FC Bus Jack - Power and Communication

Use a six conductor SA Bus RS-485 cable with

RJ12 connectors to connect the ZFR1810 Coordinator

to the FC Bus connector (FC/SA BUS IN) on the NAE

or NCE supervisory engine. This connection provides

both power and communication to the ZFR1810

Coordinator.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect supply power to the

ZFR1810 Coordinator before finishing wiring and

checking all wiring connections. Short circuits or

improperly connected wires may result in permanent

damage to the ZFR1810 Coordinator.

IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make

all wiring in accordance with local, national, and

regional regulations. The ZFR1810 Coordinator is a

low-voltage (less than 30 VAC) device. Do not

exceed the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s electrical

ratings.

IMPORTANT: Prevent any static electric discharge

to the ZFR1810 Coordinator. Static electric

discharge can damage the ZFR1810 Coordinator

and void any warranties.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the ZFR1810

Coordinator to the power supply before setting the

PAN OFFSET switches.

Power Supply Output

Use a six-conductor SA Bus RS-485 cable with

RJ45 connectors to connect an external Metasys®

device to the FC BUS OUT jack as shown in Figure 1.

Setup and Adjustments

PAN Offset

Set the PAN Offset value of the ZFR1810 Coordinator

using the Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches to

configure the ZFR1810 Coordinator to communicate

with the ZFR1811 Routers assigned to it. See Figure 1

and Figure 6.

The PAN Offset value equals the sum of the numbers

set to ON. For example, if the DIP switches labelled

1, 4, and 8 are set to ON, the PAN Offset value is 13

(1 + 4 + 8 = 13).

When selecting a PAN Offset value for a wireless

system:

• Use a unique PAN Offset value for each wireless

mesh network at a job site.

• Use the same PAN Offset value for each wireless

device in a wireless mesh network - the

ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated

ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series Sensor.

PAN Offset and MS/TP Address Interaction

At Release 4.1 and later, the MS/TP address of the

ZFR1810 Coordinator is no longer fixed at 2. The new

address is 120 plus the sum of the first three values

of the PAN Offset that are set to the ON position, giving

an MS/TP address range of 120 to 127.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the power supply

output of the ZFR1810 Coordinator. The ZFR1810

Coordinator’s power supply input must be able to

source the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the connected

external devices. Exceeding the power supply input

limits may cause the ZFR1810 Coordinator to shut

down.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the PAN Offset switches

are set to the same value for the

ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated

ZFR1811 Router, and WRZ Series Sensor in a mesh

network.

IMPORTANT: To avoid MS/TP address conflicts,

do not connect the ZFR1810 Coordinator to the

power supply before setting the PAN Offset

switches.

Figure 6: Setting the DIP Switches

ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions8

Note: Only the values associated with the first three

switches (right to left) set to the ON position count

towards the MS/TP address of the ZFR1810

Coordinator. See the top of Figure 6.

Note: On some date code labels, the switch position

numbers on the bottom of the dip switch are reversed.

In either case, the switch positions are always read

right to left.

In Figure 6, the PAN Offset of the ZFR1810

Coordinator is configured by adding the values

associated with the first seven switch positions (right to

left). The eighth switch position is not used. In Figure 6

the PAN Offset is configured to 13 (values 1, 4, and 8)

to the ON position. In Figure 6, the MS/TP address of

the ZFR1810 Coordinator is configured by adding the

values associated with the first three switch positions

(right to left).The sum of the values is 5, so the MS/TP

address of the ZFR1810 Coordinator is 120 + 5, which

equals 125.

Setting the FC Bus End-of-Line (EOL) Switch

The FC Bus End-of-Line termination switch allows you

to designate the ZFR1810 Coordinator as the end of

the FC Bus. The default position is OFF. If the

ZFR1810 Coordinator is at the end of a daisy chain of

devices on the FC Bus, set the EOL switch to the ON

position. See Figure 1 and Figure 7.

Troubleshooting

Wireless Signal Strength

A wireless signal strength indication LED displays the

reception strength of the transmissions between the

ZFR1810 Coordinators, ZFR1811 Routers, and the

WRZ Series Sensors. This LED helps determine the

network connectivity status when selecting locations for

the devices during system installation.

Approximately once every 10 seconds, the Signal

Strength LED flashes to indicate the reception strength

of the signal from neighboring devices. See Table 3

and Figure 1.

Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus

System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) for more

information on determining the signal strength between

ZFR1800 Series devices in your application.

WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool

Use the WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool

with a WRZ Series Sensor as a site survey tool to

determine the wireless signal strength between a

ZFR1810 Coordinator and a ZFR1811 Router or

between two ZFR1811 Routers. Refer to the

WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool

Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10563-12) for

more information on testing signal strength in your

application.

Network Optimize/Reform Button

The Network Optimize/Reform Button allows the

ZFR1810 Coordinator to use any of three functions:

• Signal Strength

• Network Optimize

• Network Reform

Use the Signal Strength mode to aid in signal strength

testing. Signal Strength mode causes the LEDs on the

ZFR1811 routers to turn on and display signal strength

for two hours.

Use the Network Optimize mode to clear the mesh

device routing tables of the ZFR1811 Routers and

attempt to find shorter and/or stronger signal paths to

the ZFR1810 Coordinator.

Note: The Network Optimize process can take up to

15 minutes to complete.

Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus

System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) for more

information about the Network Reform function.
